Drake and LeBron Gave Each Other Dagger Eyes at Last Night’s Raptors-Cavs Game

Every once in a while, there are two people who just seem destined to be friends. Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. Cory Matthews and Shawn Hunter. LeBron James and Aubrey "Drake" Graham. The NBA star and the hip-hop star have a lot in common. They're both incredibly famous. They both understand the trials and tribulations of being the best in your field. Drake loves the NBA. LeBron's in the NBA. Both were spokesmen for Sprite at some point. I mean, this is a friendship for the ages. It's basically Stand By Me without the dead body. (J. R. Smith is Kiefer Sutherland.) I mean, look at these two in simpler times:

They were once so happy to see each other!

No matter how dumb they looked, they always posed for photos.

Sometimes they'd forget to decide whether they were going to look happy or tough before the photo was taken.

Sometimes they brought friends along.

Sometimes they'd talk even though one of them was at work.

But you could usually tell how much they liked to be around each other.

Sometimes they even posed with a small child, who was probably sick or something.

But mostly they supported each other.

But now, LeBron's Cavs are playing Drake's Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raps have started to win some games, and things are getting tense between the two. Drake took to Instagram to mock LeBron after the Cavs' first loss.

And then after LeBron and the Cavs went on a good run, LeBron turned to shoot Drake a look. This photo is incredible. Drake was not having it. You can FEEL the tension.

I mean, look at that face. That is not the face of a man who is looking at his friend.

So, Drake, LeBron, I just hope you two find a way to work it out. Because friendship is too important to let a little thing like basketball get in the way. Try to remember happier times.
